RE: [newbie] embed php in html file

Hiya I need advice for an optimum solution to display the username that is logged in on every html form page of my application. I have a header.php : <? session_start(); echo "<BR><font face=\"Verdana\"><font color=\"red\"size=\"3\">Logged in as: ".$_SESSION['curr_user']."<BR></font><br>"; ?> Now I have many html forms which user's see What I want to know is how to include the header.php into every html form page. One way is to rename the html file with extension .php then <? require_once("header.php") ?> This seems a bit wasteful for one line of php to change all the forms to .php. Is there any other ways of embedding the header.php file in html forms.The reason I am so keen on keeping html and php files seperate is thus to make debugging easier and maintain a kinda three tier design. Any suggestions will be much appreciated Bob _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
